1962 Map of New Castle
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
New Castle serves as the focal point of this Colorado river valley survey, where the Colorado River carves a path through the towering Grand Hogback. The local economy and geography are defined by the convergence of water and industry, as seen in the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor that parallels the river. A sophisticated network of irrigation systems, including the Tompkins Ditch and Cactus Valley Ditch, traces the base of Burning Mountain and Coal Ridge, highlighting the importance of water rights in this arid landscape.
